 Scheduling - How to be a Public Speaking Star
Now that you have your time management scheme, plans, goals, and all other details put together to deliver your speech, you will need a schedule. Of course, if you have a time scheme, plan, goals and the like, most likely your schedule is already put together. You will need a schedule, since it will take some of your time to write the speech, practice the speech and prepare to give the speech.
Just in case, if you don't already have it together, let's put it together now. Scheduling includes errands, time out, time use, start/stop, and planning for the unexpected.
Instance
You are to write a speech, which is to be delivered in one week. During this week you have to pay bills, buy
groceries, attend classes, spend time with the family and take time out for you. Wow, we are off to the races, yet the last thing you want to do at the moment is try to run a marathon. The goal is to set a time limit for each task you have to do in between writing this speech. You will need to setup a time that you can meet to research the topic, practice and prepare to give the speech. Once you have a working schedule setup you can move ahead with less stress. Likewise, you will need to figure in this equation, areas that you can abandon for the time being, until the speech is delivered. For instance, you can't miss classes, but you can ask family to purchase your groceries. You can't miss bills; however you can ask family again if they could put your bills in the mail. See how this works?
A person digesting new information will often feel weighed down if they do not find time to have fun. Throughout this week you can have fun by setting up a brief schedule for fun time. Try to keep it short since you have a week. One half hour, or even an hour could refresh you mind, however once the timeframe has ended for fun, get back to work.
Goals are essential. By now you should have a goal in mind, i.e. both short and long-term goals. The long-term goal is to become a public speaking star. Therefore, you need to focus on those short-term goals, which will take you to the long-term goal.
Ok, flexibility is a challenging task for some people, because flexibility means you are willing to change at any given moment. During this schedule setup you should add in a time frame for emergencies or other unexpected events, so that you will have a backup plan. What can you do? Could you work a little harder one day? You can also plan for the unexpected as you write up your schedule so that you make sure your speech is finished on time.
A great ideal, is studying longer than you planned. Rather work longer during the day on your speech if possible. The harder you work the better the chance you will finish long before the speech is to be giving. As for research you can contact the public library or other resources to ask questions rather than spending hours in a building looking for facts.
If you are working on your speech, try to write a few hours without over succeeding your brains welcome. That is keep, the brain fresh while working sufficiently and logically.
Now you can break the schedule and speech down into sections and work through the process accordingly. In other words, we are at the stop and start point. During this time you will set time aside for research, writing the speech, taking notes, practicing the speech, and preparing for the speech. Breaking the speech down in sections will help you work productively.
